Nice lean body.
-
Hi all.. Lets just get straight to the point. How to get a nice lean body with washboard abs? Can I only do crunches and push ups in the morning and evening? Or is it a must to go to the gym? My body is ok I guess but there are a bit of fats around the tummy area which does not show the abs at all. And how to get the arm area to be significantly muscled? As in defined and all.. I don't want mass. Not big arms or big chest or big body. Just nice lean body and noticeable definitions at the arms..

You can try this exercises, i also recommand any deadlift variant to build a strong core.The posterior chain(quads, hamstrings, back and abs) is very important.
You can try chest flyes for a nice cleavage.
Dont forget to do cardio.
opt for endurance reps than like 15 reps or so.But trust me lar, size doesnt mean strength.This Malay boy who i know is much short and smaller then me but can lift more than me on some lifts. -

actually if u r thin enough, dont do crunches also can see abs...its just the body fats that cover that area...if u really so engrossed in having washboard abs then do LOTS of cardio lor...Originally posted by dinky1409:Hi all..

but IMO having abs with a tiny body frame dont look good.....i have 1 polymate he as abs but he is too thin.....u need some mass to look good with the abs...
Quite a while back ago, i was also very engrossed with abs, i do so much cardio that abs are visible but i became too thin n thats the reason why i m sort of bulking now n when i have acheived my desired size, i tone up..
well to get lean body is pretty easy by cardio but to have muscle definition i think u need a gym to do workouts to have fastest n most visible results...but if u still insist of working out at home, dont do push up only, do pull ups, dips, push ups... -
OK I guess cardio is my answer. K what are cardio basically? WHat kind of cardio can i do in the house?

you can do high reptitions of dumbbell rows for cardio in the house
seriously not joking, i do it sometimes.I take a 5kg dumbbell and do 150 dumbbell rows at one shot.You will be panting, trust me.
You got stairs can also run up and down.
If you have stairs can train legs as well, take two moderate weight dumbbells(5-7kg) and use one leg to climb the stairs, 2-3 steps at one time. -

but just to warn u, doing too much cardio can give u toned, defined abs but overall muscle mass will decrease...yr arms will be thin, overall physique will be thin which doesnt looks good.. -
